Great British Buildings: Wilton's Music Hall

An exclusive architect-led, behind the scenes tour of this RIBA London Award winning building by Tim Ronalds Architects.

The building, described by the jury panel during the RIBA Awards process as:

'These exposed layers of history gave areas of the building an archaeological character and there was great skill deployed in the way the building has been reconfigured and upgraded without a loss of patina and atmosphere. While this is a conservation project, as the story unfolded it emerged that the surfaces bore traces of previous occupation and abandonment.

'These found qualities of the building have been carefully preserved, creating a visual narrative more subtle and engaging than in a straightforward restoration. Leaving aside the historical importance of the building as the last surviving Music Hall in London, this is pure theatre and an experience to really savour.'
